The Cervélo P-Series Rival 1 AXS E1 carries the unmistakable DNA of the legendary P5—one of the fastest time trial bikes ever raced at the WorldTour level—but evolves it for triathletes and long-distance competitors who need real-world adaptability and integrated storage solutions. Every aerodynamic contour, tube profile, and fit dimension benefits from Cervélo’s wind tunnel development and pro-level feedback. The result is a bike that channels the raw speed of its P5 ancestor while introducing practicality for training and racing across all triathlon distances. Designed to dominate the time between T1 and T2, the new P-Series delivers aerodynamic efficiency, storage versatility, and fit customization in a package made for athletes chasing personal bests.

At its heart, the Cervélo All-Carbon Tapered P Fork and D-shaped steerer tube deliver both aerodynamic advantage and adaptability. The round stem interface allows for nearly limitless basebar and extension options—making the cockpit fully tunable to individual preferences or evolving fit needs. The geometry offers up to 53mm of adjustable stack height, with included spacers enabling an aggressive TT setup or a more relaxed long-distance position. Every millimeter of the frame has been optimized to slice through wind, featuring reduced drag profiles, sleek internal cable routing, and improved tire clearance for modern wide rims and up to 700x34mm tires, ensuring comfort and traction even on rougher courses.

A defining feature of the latest P-Series is its integrated in-frame storage system—a first for Cervélo’s triathlon platform. This smart compartment is designed to hold a spare tube, CO2 canister, and multi-tool, keeping essentials neatly tucked away without disrupting airflow. The hatch opens effortlessly with or without a bottle in place—just flip, pull, and access your gear. Complementing this innovation is Cervélo’s Smartpak 400 top-tube bento box, included with every P-Series, offering a sleek, aerodynamic solution for mid-ride fueling. Together, these systems ensure that nutrition, tools, and repair essentials are always within reach yet hidden from the wind.

The build kit is anchored by SRAM’s Rival AXS E1 12-speed wireless drivetrain, featuring a 48T Aero crankset with integrated power meter and a 10-30T cassette for the ideal range between flat-out speed and sustained climbs. Shifting duties are handled by Riderever Triva Carbon AXS Blip controllers and a SRAM Rival AXS E1 rear derailleur, providing crisp, instantaneous gear changes. Reserve 40/44 carbon wheels, paired with Vittoria Corsa N.EXT TLR G2.0 700x29c tires, ensure low rolling resistance, reliable grip, and aerodynamic harmony with the frame. Braking confidence comes via Shimano CL700 Centerlock rotors, offering consistent modulation across varied conditions.

Finishing touches elevate the P-Series to a truly complete triathlon machine. The Cervélo SP23 Carbon seatpost and Tri Saddle provide stable support during long aero sessions, while integrated Cervélo Front and Rear Accessory Mounts streamline hydration and computer placement. The Profile Design Wing 20C SuperSonic cockpit ensures ergonomic control and reduced frontal area, rounding out a platform built for ultimate efficiency. For athletes seeking a purpose-built machine descended from WorldTour heritage—optimized for triathlon speed, fit flexibility, and real-world storage—the Cervélo P-Series Rival 1 AXS E1 delivers a faster, more functional path to the podium.
